279: Then maybe I can try... to be the savior again

“It’s only temporarily under control. If the subsequent issues aren’t resolved, then whether it’s controlled or not won’t make much of a difference,” Clarissa said.

“What do you mean?!” Bella’s expression changed.

Yi Xin and the others also returned to Clarissa’s side. Hearing Clarissa’s words, everyone’s expressions were a bit strange.

Maple Leaf was bandaging her wounds. It seemed she didn’t have much fighting strength left.

Maple Leaf felt like a “clown” in this battle, making countless blunders.

Useless, always getting beaten up.

Various forces left her disheveled, and she was rescued by her group members at least five or six times.

She deeply felt her own weakness, helplessness, and pitifulness.

This brought her a huge shock and further strengthened her will to become stronger.

Instead, it significantly improved her Martial Will.

“Arnostim seems to be accelerating its awakening…” Clarissa frowned slightly and said, “What exactly is the reason?”

Everyone frowned slightly upon hearing Clarissa’s words, pondering for a moment.

“Destruction and Death Dragon… Is there a possibility…” Yi Xin began.

“Destruction and death will bring it power?” Lin Zifeng continued.

“In other words, the purpose of these believers’ attacks, the destruction and death they caused, was actually to awaken Arnostim?” Bai Mo’s expression changed.

“Then the other two cities…” Bella was instantly startled, “Is it still not too late for us to provide support?!”

“It’s too late…” Clarissa shook her head and said, “Those two cities are basically on the verge of falling. Even if they don’t fall, they will surely suffer heavy casualties by the end of the fight. The most important thing is… going there would be useless… because…” Clarissa shook her head and then looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, everyone felt an extremely terrifying aura descend.

The entire sky suddenly dimmed.

An inexplicable palpitation suddenly rose in everyone’s hearts.

It was as if they were facing death directly; that feeling of palpitation was a creature’s instinctive fear of death.

“Gulp… This… This is…” Bella secretly swallowed.

“Great Arnostim!!!” The surviving believers shouted, becoming extremely fanatical.

Facing the attacks of others, they neither dodged nor avoided, simply waiting for death to arrive.

“Hahaha! I will merge with the great Arnostim!!!” Before dying, these believers were all incredibly excited and thrilled.

This made those who hadn’t yet struck them hesitate.

What the heck, are these all perverts? Should I kill them or not?

This commotion awakened countless “hibernating” dragons, who all looked up at the sky in terror.

Some old dragons who had lived for a long time were even more terrified and despairing, muttering, “It’s here… It’s back… It’s over… This world… It’s over…”

Pfft! Pfft!

While they were still hesitating whether to kill them, those believers collectively committed suicide.

Instantly, the “crisis” in the three major cities was resolved.

In the other two cities, only their respective “Death Dragons” were still causing trouble.

However, with the combined strength of the entire city, the Death Dragon couldn’t cause much trouble.

The pressure in the sky grew stronger and stronger.

The completely dark sky brought endless fear and pressure.

Clarissa narrowed her eyes slightly.

Yi Xin and the others secretly swallowed.

So terrifying! This was their first time encountering this level of combat.

A level 3 world… one of the Four Dragon Gods… Could the combat power of this Dragon God reach the peak level of the world, level 6 combat power?

If that were the case… could Clarissa win?

They certainly couldn't win; there was no need to think about it.

It seemed that all hope currently rested on Clarissa.

“We’re doomed, we’re doomed…” Bella was somewhat at a loss.

“Bella, your ancestor, well, Matilda, can you awaken her?” Clarissa asked Bella.

“Awaken what! What would I use to awaken her… I won’t hide it from you here… The Three Dragon Gods already perished with Arnostim, simply because of conflicting ideals, Arnostim attacked them…” Bella revealed a shocking fact.

“What?!” Clarissa raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure they perished together?”

“I’m sure! Because the ancestor’s soul is still there, and it is indeed protecting Matilda City, but… they are already powerless to intervene in anything in the world… The ancestor told me… Arnostim’s power was too terrifying. The three of them, in the end, perished together with Arnostim, but what they didn’t expect was… Arnostim, as the Dragon of Destruction and Death.

Lost the authority of destruction, but, in the authority of death, gained new life…” Bella slowly exhaled and said:

“The extremely weak Arnostim, the ancestor didn't know where it went, but they all knew that Arnostim would definitely return.” Bella sighed, then despair filled her eyes: “Now, it has returned, it must have the ability to destroy the world to come back… We, without a Dragon God… with just us descendants, even if all dragons banded together, it probably wouldn’t be enough for Arnostim to fight.”

Clarissa finally understood.

The top combat power of Vinodea World was the Four Dragon Gods. Then Arnostim reached the very, very peak, and as for the others, they had power, but it was probably only around level 4-5 combat power, at most.

There was probably not a single level 6.

They were at the Dragon God level, but now, the level 6 combat powers had all perished together, taking down another level 6 ceiling.

Vinodea World was also a special world… According to Bella, Arnostim’s destruction authority dissipated upon its death, and it was reborn through the authority of death.

In other words, Arnostim shouldn't be called the Dragon of Destruction and Death; it should just be called the Death Dragon. Oh, that clashes with the previous big idiot’s title, so it can only be called the Death Dragon God.

Clarissa looked at the sky: “Bella, you said, will its strength be stronger compared to before?”

“Impossible! No matter what, it cannot be stronger than before; it must be much weaker! And the authority of destruction is gone, it was even reborn through the authority of death. Even if the authority of death is stronger, the reborn Arnostim’s own strength definitely cannot return to its former state, nor to its peak!

It might even be inferior to the strength of the ancestors from before, but, inferior is inferior, that also depends on what it’s compared to… Even if its strength is weaker… in the present… it is still an invincible existence!” Bella said in despair.

Clarissa’s strength was very strong, but in Bella’s eyes, it couldn’t compare to the power of a Dragon God.

That strength might be able to contend with the old dragons, a fifty-fifty split, or perhaps Clarissa was stronger.

But to go against a Dragon God… that was simply impossible!

“It’s much weaker, huh~” Clarissa looked at the sky wistfully, “Then I might be able to try… to be the savior who saves the world one more time…”
